Colds

Wasn’t feeling well last night, thinking I just needed a good night sleep and would wake up feeling like myself again, but that is what I get for thinking!

Sent hubby to the store to pick up some cold medicine and something quick and easy for him to make supper for the kids if I’m not up to cooking this evening.  Some chicken soup would be perfect. What a guy, he was going to do a side plumbing job for some friends this week-end, but promised me that he would call and see if he can do it next week-end, so that he can stay close to home to give me a chance to focus on feeling better.  I need to get myself back on my feet before the work week starts, have a busy schedule planned and being sick is NOT on the schedule.

The Dentist

Took my youngest to the dentist today, got a cleaning, a fluoride treatment and an exam that sent us home with a smile and another cavity free dentist visit!  Gotta love that.

Winter is Back in All It’s Glory

Baby it’s cold outside!

Didn’t get much sleep last night Hubby was coughing up a storm and was tossing and turning most of the time, being the light sleeper that I have turned out to be, I didnt get much rest.  Looks like he will stay in the bed for the day, took his temp and he has a low grade fever, we need to get him healthy in time for the work week.  With freezing temperatures back a lot of pipes are going to freeze and the company he works for will have many jobs that need to be taken care of.

Speaking of the devil – I hear him calling out for more Jello, time to make up a batch of chicken soup, there is a lot to be said for the Jewish penicillin.

I hope that their are some things on the T.V. that will entertain him while I keep busy in the kitchen and dealing with the kids today.

Female Issues

My best friend and I have known each other for over 40 years and there isn’t anything that we haven’t talked about with each other but it did feel rather strange when she was telling me that she was seeing a doctor about having surgery done for vaginal relaxation.

I decided that I should research a little bit about this subject and came across a website miklosandmoore.com that talks about all kinds of vaginal surgeries that are available. I had no idea that there were so many surgeries that were available for the vaginal area, so this particular web-site was very enlightening indeed.

I hope that my girlfriend picks a doctor that has good credentials, because I would think you would want to be very particular about what doctor performs surgery on such a vulnerable and important area on the female body.

Beautiful day outside

It is unbelievably beautiful outside today, so I’m thinking I’m going to go out and play some soccer with my teenage daughter, and maybe play some basketball with both of my kids. This should be good, I haven’t played any kind of sport what so ever in a long time, but I think I should stretch out and just love the time I can spend with my kids. Maybe I should try to talk my husband into playing with us, sounds like a plan to me.

California Drinking

My long time friend who has ended up in Southern California hasn’t called or email as much lately as he used to actually called today, he picked a crazy day to call, but I’m glad that he did.  He is such a wonderful person and life gave him the challenge of being gay, we’ve spent many an hour chatting about his lifestyle and he has had his ups and downs with it that is for sure.

He spent some time back in his old home town in Wisconsin, but small towns up north are not what you would call “gay friendly” so he didn’t stay there long.  He bounces around the states and I never know where he will be calling from next.  This time he was thinking of staying in California but of course life is challenging him once again.

He has always enjoyed the night life, since bars are the easiest place to meet other gays, but since he is fast approaching the age of 60 he has toned down his wild night life, for the most part.

After much prodding from his close friend – the poor guy went out the other night and it happens that someone must have slipped something into his drink(s), so he doesn’t remember all that much.  He does remember however, the L.A. police officer hand cuffing him, pieces of a ride in the smelly backseat of a police cruiser and most of all waking up the next a.m. in a cold, cramped and very scary jail cell.  His night out of the town ended up in getting himself a DUI.  And that, now a days, is serious and can cost $$$$$ and will make it difficult for him to keep his job as a city bus driver, bummer.

Of course by now he tells me that he has an attorney.  he even writes a blog on their website Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney Blog | California Criminal Law Forum. They are one of the top 5% U.S. Law Firm that specializes in aggressive representation in the Southern California courts with criminal and DUI cases.

My friend now has her own blog

My long time best friend, Rachel, listens to me as I talk on and on at times about my blogging and she has finally consented to give it and try, which tickles me pink! She has been doing it for over three weeks now, posting sometimes a couple of posts a day.

She was frantic when her PC crashed for 2 days, she had to get her son to come over and work his computer magic and got it back up and running, good as new. During her down time we spent several hours on the phone, which has become something that we don’t do much anymore since we rely on email and Instant Messengers so much.

Anyway, Rachel is once again happy to be back blogging, she has found it to be as therapeutic as I have, let’s you release some of your negative energy onto the keyboard and feel better after doing so. So a new blogger has been born, Welcome, Rachel!

Hope for my sister’s finances

I believe that I have written a bit about my one sister who’s husband was injured in a automobile accident, not one that was his fault, his injuries have kept him in treatment, therapies, medicated and out of work, and not receiving one thin dime during this whole time. I believe the accident was last October or so, that is a long time not to be receiving any type of monies on which to pay bills and feed his family, they are pretty much in dire straights at this point and my poor sister is beside herself with him home 24/7 and miserable most of that time. Doesn’t sound like any type of fun at all.

This has been devastating on their whole family and it has to come to an end sooner or later.

Playing in the rain

This weather has made it a challenge for the kids to be playing outside, enjoying their summer vacation from school. We have been experiencing severe thunder and lightening storms, but the temperature is still on the high side of being in the 90’s and all of the kids and their friends what to go outside and jump on the trampoline and play outside.

I remember as a kid, my mother never allowed us to play in the rain, never, I guess she was afraid of one of us getting sick and then the rest of us would get sick and then my mother would have to deal with all of these sick kids.

I on the other hand encourage my kids to go outside and play in the rain, as long as it isn’t the least bit chilly and that there isn’t any lightening going on. I believe there is no reason in the world for them not to unless they would become wet and cold from it. But a good play in the nice warm rain when it is hot outside is good for everybody, that is my story and I’m sticking with it.

So when all of the kids are whining about it raining out and them not being able to play outside, I tell them go ahead and go and have a blast doing it, just be careful.

What a mess!

Yesterday, my husband had noticed that our kitchen sinks were backed up, and about 8 gallons of dirty water came up and went all over the kitchen floor. It wasn’t until about two hours later after cleaning it up that I noticed the basement was flooded with the same dirty water, that had a horrible smell to it. My entire house smelt like garbage until I sanitized absolutely everything! It took eight hours to clean and sanitize everything, what a mess that was, I pray it never happens again.

We are having the worst luck with our plumbing issues lately, it is a good thing that Hubby is a plumber and can do many things on his own, rather than pay some one else to do it.
